Another day, another 22 cents!

Well I had to go pick my daughter up at the train station last night after midnight so I made a quick trip to the local Tim Horton's for coffee and a bagel. I ended up with 17 cents change and picked up another nickle from the floor of the car for a whooping 22 cents. Today I got a 1974 nickle and a 2000 P dime, a 1996 and a 2007 zink cent (someone on another site called them Zincolns, I love that!) The real prize was the 1942 wartime nickle. I don't know for sure if that was the nickle in my change or the one on the floor. Very cool, worth about 70 cents just for the silver content.

I took a closer look today at some of the coins I picked up yesterday. My 1836 large cent is clearly an 1835 with the 1836 head. Not super rare or anything, but nice. The 1826 cent is a 6 over 5 overstamped variety, again not super rare, but fun to find. You can take a look at them if you follow the links below:

Until next time.
